To me Don't fade into obscurity!, Gloomy obscurity rush and Flee to light don't really sound like the title of a game but more a like a description of what you do in the game. Of the names you suggested, I would favor Torch's Journey, but you could also try to involve the name of the main character.

Of the names you mentioned, I'd go with Torch's Journey as well.

For the main character, Murk seems better to me than Murky.

I like "Gloomy obscurity rush", but it's too long and hard to pronounce. How about "Gloom Rush"?

To me it looks like it needs one of those one-word titles. It's a shame "Myst" is taken.... maybe "Mirk" or an old English derivative like "Myrke"? The Gloom? Dim?

Or that could be the main character, although to me it would make sense for his name to be some synonym for light, like something based off of luminous, like Lumino or Lume. Or flourescent, phosophorescent, lantern ("Lant"), etc. Torch is good, too. Having a "Y" at the end makes names sound more childish.

"Bunny Hunt in Atlantis" deserves a shot

How about Swamp Light, or Shadow Light. Using the term "light" to represent the main character's feature, and setting a tone that the game is set in dark/murk/swamp type areas.

I like Mr. Dim as the hero name, Mr. K Dim (pronounced Murky Dim) :)

Hope this help!
